Vicki a man can never have too many tool boxes. I have separate ones for my DIY tools, plumbing tools, car spanners etc, car cleaning materials. Oh and one with all the old stuff in it that I might need one day so won't throw away just yet. These are all kept in my garage. But my electric tools are all in the cupboard under the stairs, as Lenny say stops them going rusty or getting pinched by the local low life.

haha, I have two in the house, two in the garden box and two in the car (althout the two in the car are small).

But I have one for electrics, one for computers, one for general DIY hardware, and three other general tools. Then on top of that, I have allen key boxes, socket set boxes, mini screwdriver kits, staplers (the ones for stapling things to the wall for some reason :D)

i have loads of everything, even 2 MAN DRAWS (these not been mentioned yet lol) the things that take up most room is compressor/equiptment..... things like chop saw's, mitre saw's, 2 sets of car ramps with low level entry, so bumper dont get scratched.... loads to list lol

Tool boxes.. Where to start! It's gone from tool boxes to tool chests!

The living room is one of my tool boxes just now. Still has tools in it from rewiring and plastering.. It will get emptied one of these days
